- talhof8 13y agoThanks!
- talhof8 13y agoAlso, did you code this by yourself? How much time did it take?
- pg 13y agoOriginally. The first version took about a week IIRC.
- talhof8 13y agoThanks :) Unrelated - is there any way to get some sort of indication when someone replies to a comment of mine? Sometimes I see others' replies to one of mine too late, and so we cannot develop the conversation any further because they don't know I replied back.
- tptacek 13y agoI'm thankful that we don't have that feature. After a day or two, any argument you get into on HN is likely to die because no feature of the site jams replies to old comments in your face.
- dennisgorelik 13y agoHaving discussion about the topic which I chose to participate in is clearly good for me, otherwise I would not participate in it. Is it good for HN in general to see such in-depth discussions? That's less obvious, but I actually prefer to have such option myself (meaning that I'd like to be able to see longer discussions between other HN users). Again, I don't have to read these discussions. What am I missing here?
- tptacek 13y agoThat 'pg decided the feature you're looking for is more trouble than its worth.
- dennisgorelik 13y agoI know that PG decided it. But it looks like you are supporting that decision and I don't understand why.
- YuriNiyazov 13y agoThe other part of his sentence is important too. "It is more trouble than it's worth". As in, the amount of damage it will cause to the site due to ongoing conflicts outweighs the benefit you will receive from automatically getting notified on replies.
